How did the internet go from this? You could actually find what you were looking for right away, bound to this. I feel like I'm in hell. Spoiler alert, it was not an accident. I'm Cory Doctorow, host of Who Broke the Internet from CBC's Understood. In this four-part series, I'm going to tell you

why the internet sucks now, whose fault it is, and my plan to fix it. Find Who Broke the Internet on whatever terrible app you get your podcasts. From CBC News, the world this hour, I'm Julianne Hazelwood. Prime Minister Mark Carney's new cabinet will be sworn in next Tuesday. Members of cabinet will take the oath of office at Rideau Hall. Governor-General Mary Simon will preside over the ceremony. John Hogan has been sworn in as the 15th Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador. He says trade is one of the issues he'll be tackling. Hogan says with Donald Trump's tariffs it's no longer business as usual. I had a great conversation with Prime

Minister Carney yesterday about this very issue. We talked about trade barriers. I stressed to him that, you know, the biggest trade barrier to Newfoundland and Labrador, I believe, is our geography, air access and roads, transportation, in and of itself our trade barriers, and asked him for his support and help as we continue negotiations and discussions with the federal government. Hogan replaced Andrew Fury, who announced his resignation in in February that is. He's facing a provincial election one has to be held on or before October 14th. Cross-examination has resumed at the

trial of five former World Junior Hockey team members charged with sexual assault. They've all pleaded not guilty in connection with the alleged incident in 2018. Today the complainant known only as EM due to a publication ban, faced more questions on the stand. Ali Chyassin has the latest. When do we want it? Justice! When do we want it?

Now! The accused hockey players and their lawyers walk past a group of about 40 EM supporters. It's the largest group we've seen all week. Today, one of them called over Alex Formonton's defense attorney, Daniel Brown, who had earlier asked EM on the stand if she had a quote, alter ego when she drinks. Quote, is it you today or your alter ego? The supporter asked Brown. Brown responded, see you inside.

In the courtroom, Brown picked up his cross-examination where he left off, asking about the number of drinks EM had and reviewing footage from inside Jack's bar before the alleged assault. Ali Chiasan, CBC News, London, Ontario. Canada's unemployment rate is up. It rose to a 6.9% last month from 6.7 in March. Statistics Canada says tens of thousands of jobs were lost in manufacturing and retail. Both sectors engulfed in uncertainty related to the US trade war. The losses were offset by temporary workers

hired during the federal election. Most analysts agree that next month's report will offer a clearer picture of how the tariffs are affecting the job market. Canadian bishops who voted for the next pope say the experience was meaningful. They shared their thoughts about the process at the Pontifical Canadian College in Rome. Juanita Taylor reports from the Vatican. Canadian Cardinals Jérôme Cépien Lacroix, Frank Léo and Thomas Collins all took part

in the recent conclave to elect Pope Leo XIV. Cardinal Lacroix says it was moving for him to be a part of the largest conclave with 133 cardinals taking part. So different cultures, languages, countries, situations. We have countries from all over the world and yet we were able to be together with peaceful hearts in harmony, respecting each other's way of seeing things and coming together quickly. We elected a pope in less than 24 hours. That says something. That's a big statement. Cardinal Lacroix didn't share whom he voted for. Pope Leo will be

leading a prayer from the Vatican balcony in St. Peter's Basilica Sunday. Juanita Taylor, CBC News, The Vatican. Russia celebrated the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany with a massive military parade in Moscow. President Vladimir Putin oversaw the parade in Red Square that drew a number of high-profile visitors. Among them were Chinese President Xi Jinping and Brazilian leader Luiz Inaccio Lula da Silva. But the celebrations were not just about remembering the past.

Dignitaries watched as Russian troops who took part in the invasion of Ukraine paraded past. The display also included drones in drones Russia is using to bomb Ukrainian cities. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Julianne Hazelwood.
